THE TRUTH ABOUT SUGAR AND COLD-PRESSED JUICE

April 09, 2016

We are going to throw something very controversial (and a bit cheeky) out there: We LOVE sugar!

Before your jaw hits the floor, let us explain

We are told relentlessly in the media these days that fruit is bad because of the sugar content and we want to set the record straight once and for all!

Sarah Wilson, we agree! Consuming a diet high in sugar is to be avoided at all costs. Processed and refined sources of sugar are linked to countless illnesses and even more than that we believe sugar saps your inner and outer beauty and vitality. However, we believe that fruit (and vegetables high in sugar like carrots or beetroot), when used wisely, is essential for detoxification and achieving glowing health.

FRUIT IS ESSENTIAL FOR GETTING THE GLOW.

Our favourite reason to love fruit is that it is loaded with important enzymes that are essential for optimising common processes in the body. Without these enzymes, our bodies have to generate a synthetic version which drains us of vital energy.

Fruits also contain a wide variety of beautifying vitamins and minerals so including them in our juice strategically is how we ensure you not only have a delicious juice but get gorgeous results.

Some sugar content from fruits and vegetables is important while cleansing! It helps to keep you mentally and physically active.

NOT ALL JUICES ARE SEXY BUT SOME ARE.

Juices have had the pulp (aka fibre) removed which I promise isn't done just for fun. It's done to allow the nutrients in the juice to nourish each and every cell without the effort of digesting (this energy is needed for detoxing instead!). We always recommend sipping our cold-pressed juice like a fine wine, its potent stuff in there and drinking any juice quickly can tire out your liver. Sipping slowly keeps you fuller and glowier (yes, its a word ;)) longer.

Store-bought juices are not only nutritionally dead, but they are packed with sugar. Pure Glow is entirely different. Even a healthy store-bought green juice typically has at least 10g of sugar per 100ml. Ours range from <1g to 5.5g and are there to nourish you.

Time and time again we are shown that eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables is the key to health. And sugar exists naturally and beautifully in both.

WHEN IT COMES TO SUGAR, WEVE GOT YOUR BACK.

We never add sugar where it isn't needed and we have tonnes of creative tricks up our sleeves to pack flavour into our juices without fruit. You know that each juice is working for you and your lifestyle and truly helping you glow from the inside out. You will taste and feel the difference!
